This week we bid adieu to Blake Edwards, eccentric film producer, husband of the formidable Julie Andrews, father of 5.

He died after 88 years of memorable artistry due to complications of pneumonia.

one example of his obit:

Blake Edwards and his actors were a real team, it is hard to know where one ends and the other begins...

Some memorable quotes:

Peter Sellers: People ask me why do I keep compromising my artistic integrity by walking in front of Blake's cameras. Do you know what I tell them? Money.

Blake Edwards: Mr. Sellers, welcome to Hollywood.
Peter Sellers: But this is Italy.
Blake Edwards: Hollywood's a state of mind.
